Mossy Head, FL Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

You will not receive anything if your spouse is not doing anything. You can go to the courthouse to look at your file or you may be able to access it on line. Call the Clerk of your local Family Court.

You don't indicate whether you are both still living together or whether there is any acrimony. Generally, if one of you will be buying out the others interest in the house, they would probably be applying for a mortgage to buy out your half interest in the house (assuming the house was purchased during the marriage) and there is no mortgage on it at present. If all is peaceful between you, you can agree to a move out date. If the business is marital, presumably one of you would be buying out the other as well, which would probably be facilitated by having the business valued by a professional. Consult with an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation, and your options.

 Dear Anonymous:      In order to modify alimony the party seeking to do so must plead and prove that there has been a substantial change in circumstances, not contemplated at the time of the judgment awarding the alimony, that is involuntary and permanent in nature.  Unfortunately, you are not able to monitor what your ex does with the alimony.  If, however, she is able to invest in stocks because she has more income (besides your alimony) than she had at the time of divorce, then that may be partial grounds to modify.  You have to meet all the conditions stated above to prove your case.   Best of luck to you.
